Lyra Greek

Tucked into Tasou Markou street in the heart of Paralimni, Lyra Greek presents itself as 'Modern Souvlakia & Meze', pairing authentic Cypriot-Greek flavours with a contemporary, tasteful setting. The kitchen turns out juicy charcoal-grilled meats, quality souvlaki skewers, fresh salads and a selection of meze, served in generous portions that reviewers repeatedly call worth every euro. Guests highlight the flavourful, perfectly prepared meat, sweet accompaniments like the grilled onion, and a clean, cosy dining room that feels more like a spot for locals than a tourist trap. The owner and staff earn consistent praise for their warmth and patience, happily guiding visitors unfamiliar with Greek cuisine through the menu. With a 4.8-star rating from 53 reviews, moderate prices, and doors open daily from midday until late evening, Lyra Greek has quickly become a hidden gem for anyone exploring beyond Paralimni's tourist strip.
